Volume Oscillator V1.0 MQ5 – Avoid Thin-Liquidity Traps

Introduction

Tired of getting stopped out in those ghost-town markets? You’re not alone… Thin volume can wreck even the best strategies, coz entries in low-liquidity zones often lead to chop and fakeouts. Enter the Volume Oscillator Indicator V1.0 MQ5, our free little hero that’s here to help you steer clear of those traps. Built by YoForex’s dev team and fully back–tested on real tick data, this MT5 volume indicator gives you a clear signal when market participation is healthy enough to take a trade. Whether you’re scalping gold or swing-trading EURUSD, this tool’s got your back. Best part? It’s 100% free on MQL5.software, no trial hoops or hidden fees.

Overview

The Volume Oscillator Indicator V1.0 MQ5 measures volume momentum by comparing two configurable moving averages—a fast MA and a slow MA—on tick-by-tick volume data. It simply subtracts the slow MA from the fast MA, resulting in a histogram that swings positive when volume surges, and dips below zero when participation wanes. By setting your own threshold on the oscillator, you can filter out entries during thin periods and avoid those sideways whipsaws.

Under the hood, you get:

Two MA periods fully adjustable via the indicator’s input tab.
A clean histogram buffer that you can read directly from your Expert Advisor.
Optional alert settings to flag when volume conditions meet your criteria.

This volume oscillator indicator integrates seamlessly with other YoForex tools—try it alongside our RSI Indicator: Beginner Guide or pair it with the Moving Average EA Collection for automated entries only when volume backs your trend.
